LDAP Programming with Java™

Book Description

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is now a staple of
enterprise and Internet software environments. Anyone involved with
Internet development, where Java(TM) technology is
prominent, or in enterprise information systems must understand how
to use Java technology--especially the Directory SDK for Java--in
order to unlock the power of LDAP.

Written by the designer of the Directory SDK for Java and by a
leading implementor of directory-based solutions, LDAP
Programming with Java(TM) is the first accurate,
concise, and complete guide on accessing LDAP from Java
applications. Assuming familiarity with Java programming, the book
provides a comprehensive discussion of LDAP, from basic directory
concepts to the most advanced techniques. It collects in one
convenient resource the many innovative and experience-based
techniques and approaches programmers have discovered for using the
Directory SDK to solve LDAP access challenges.

If you are new to LDAP, you will find helpful background
information about the role of directories in today's software
systems; LDAP methods of storing, accessing, searching, and
updating data; and how the Directory SDK for Java helps
applications gain access to an LDAP server. Once you have become
proficient with the essential concepts and techniques, you can move
on to detailed material about authentication, LDAP and
JavaScript(TM), working with JavaBeans(TM)
for reusable LDAP components, expressing data relationships in a
directory, and other advanced LDAP subjects.
